Industrial Gases

ABC has manufactured many reciprocating compressor units for a wide range of industrial gases: nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, natural gas... up to 150 bar and up to 600kW.

In this sense and for more than 30 years, ABC COMPRESSORS has supplied gas compressor sets for the separation, transport and storage of air separation gases (PSA or VPSA, membranes or similar), for the reformation of hydrocarbons or natural gas, and for the treatment of syngas, among others.

These reciprocating compressor packages have the following features:

·With belts or with direct coupling, cooling towers or air coolers are available.

This is a wet carbon dioxide compressor for one of the most important industrial gas producers worldwide, which required the pumping of 2.160 kg/h of wet CO2 to help achieving a high purification of the gas. The project consisted on the delivery of a 3EHA-6- TER-GT package (3 stages and 6, non-lube, double acting cylinders), coupled to a 250kW motor controlled by a frequency converter. All accessories in contact with gas (dampers, separators, coolers and pipes) were made out of stainless steel. The main challenges were the high flexibility to adapt to customer´s specifications and the tough delivery time (5 months since PO to site).
